Councillor Christine Hamilton, cabinet member for community health and wellbeing, said: “It was great news to celebrate the 5,000th health check in Enfield, funded by Enfield Council. I had one myself and was also given lifestyle advice which I found useful, and which will help ensure that I live as long and a healthy life as possible.

“Even if you feel well in yourself it is easy to have a health check, and as we grow older some medical issues such as high cholesterol, blood pressure problems or diabetes can go unnoticed, so it is wise to get checked out.”
